In this video, you will see in 10 minutes what took Murray Carter a little over 30 minutes to produce -- a traditional Japanese Kuro-uchi kitchen knife.

This video was filmed with the intention of demonstrating how fast raw materials can be transformed into a functional knife when one has the unique distinction of completing close to 14,000 blades in his lifetime. However, when making knives for Murray's discerning customers, A LOT more time than just 35minutes goes into them to make them perfect.

These techniques are taught by Murray in his bladesmithing courses. To learn more about these courses and the many other steps to making high-quality high-performance knives, visit "Secrets of a Samurai Bladesmith" at our website:http://www.cartercutlery.com/Courses.cfm
